Career paths no longer follow a straight line. Teams and businesses are looking for direction amid constant change, and new technologies are reshaping how work gets done.

Whether you’re on the rise toward your first leadership role, guiding a technical team, building a company, or anywhere in between, technical expertise alone won’t carry you through it. The leaders who stand out now create clarity, build trust, and keep people moving forward when the path isn’t obvious.

Join Athena for an interactive evening with leaders who have made the hard calls. You’ll leave with practical ways to lead with more impact and a stronger network of STEM professionals and founders facing the same challenges.
